World famous tattooist Mark is considered the "founding father" of black and grey art with a single needle. 

David first went under the needle in 1999 after the birth of his oldest son, Brooklyn.

He is thought to have caught the bug from Spice Girl Mel B’s then husband, Jimmy Gulzar, and ended up getting his son’s name in a classic Gothic script to commemorate Brooklyn’s arrival into the world.

Speaking about how he chooses his designs, the iconic star has explained: ‘They’re about the important people in my life, who I want to have with me always.'
